                          A blog in its simplest terms is a website that anyone can setup to post whatever they feel like. Technically all that may not be true, but to a newcomer to the world of blogosphere, that should convey what a blog is. It’s a place where you can post whatever you feel like, about your day-to-day life, your passions, your opinions, your reactions, all in all anything you want to share. Blog is a short form for a Web Log. Wikipedia defines a blog as,

"A blog is a website where entries are commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.”

Blogs started appearing in the form of online diaries from as early as 1994, but they gained in popularity by the 21st century and by latest estimate of Technorati, a blog search site as well community, there are 112 million blog all around. The blogosphere, as they say, is huge.

So what do you gain by starting a blog? Well, it’s a place to express yourself or else make some money online. It can be a mix of both, but more on that later in this blog. But, the important thing is, you control what should be the content of your blog. You can make your blog an interactive corner where you post what you like and people in their own way may appreciate or criticize what you do. In turn, you can monetize your blog so that it can become a useful addition to your income.

I have had a lot of people tell me that blogs are boring and it just won’t work out for them. Let me tell you first of all, there is nothing like a boring life, and likewise, a blog is a voice of your own to the world. How can it be classified as boring? Haven’t you always wished for some secluded corner in this world to let out whatever you can’t otherwise? That’s what, essentially, a blog is for.


If you need an outlet for your imaginations, an additional source of income or a new passion, hook onto blogging. You will love it.
